door lock upgrades

How often do you think about the locks on your doors? Not often right, you just unlock, open & lock, unlock, open & lock, all day every day without a second thought in the main, never stopping to question how secure that lock actually is. And why would you – It works, right?… for the most part, a homeowner will only ever find out how good their locks are when it’s too late

The issue with locks consisting of a standard euro cylinder, which cost from £3.00 upwards is that they are extremely basic, yes they do the job of locking the door but they have known weaknesses and burglars know of & exploit these weaknesses every day, all over the country to break into peoples homes. Even for the security concious homeowner out there, amongst us there are many who install the most complex alarm systems & cctv, none of that really matters if your locks are not up to the job.
